JHR is an acronym that stands for "Journalistes pour les droits humains," translated from French as "Journalists for Human Rights." It is a non-governmental organization (NGO) established in Canada, dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights through journalism.
JHR was founded in 2002 by two Canadian journalists, Ben Peterson and Rachel Pulfer, with the aim of empowering journalists to report on human rights issues effectively and responsibly. It operates both domestically within Canada and internationally in various countries and regions where human rights violations are prevalent. Through training programs, fellowships, and advocacy initiatives, JHR seeks to equip journalists with the necessary skills and knowledge to cover human rights stories accurately, impartially, and ethically.
The organization's training programs provide journalists with practical tools for reporting on sensitive subjects, including gender-based violence, minority rights, freedom of expression, and access to justice. JHR also works closely with media organizations, institutions, and communities to foster a greater understanding of human rights issues and promote positive change.
Furthermore, JHR actively supports local journalists in regions facing human rights challenges and collaborates with them to raise public awareness, amplify marginalized voices, and hold authorities accountable. By utilizing the power of journalism, JHR aims to contribute to a world where human rights are respected, protected, and promoted.
